Schwarz & Sagittal Appliances
A variety of active appliances can be fabricated for arch width and arch length development. Active designs are beneficial for development of the arches prior to fixed treatment. A minimum of four clasps is suggested to maximize retention. In addition to our standard designs; springs, small expansion screws and wires provide forces to move individual teeth. Maxillary occlusal coverage can be added a desired. The Sagittal appliances are designed to regain lost arch length in an anterior and/or posterior direction.

Sagittal/Arch Length Development
The Sagittal appliances are designed to regain lost arch legnth in an anterior and/or posterior direction.
Anterior Sagittal Upper & Lower
To ensure anterior development, the design maximizes posterior anchorage with screw placement and occlusal indentations.
Distal-Drive Upper & Lower
This design facilitates distal driving of posterior teeth to regain lost arch legnth. To maximize distalization, splits are cut mesial to first molars.
3 Screw Sagittal Upper & Lower
DMAX/RPE or “Fixed Distalizing Maxillary Expander”. The hygienic fixed design is superior for total maxillary arch development. The rapid palatal expansion screw provides positive force for transverse movement. No adjustments are needed for molar distalization. Bodily movement without crown tipping is gained by the low continuous forces of the nickel titanium open coil springs.
